No, I don't. I think it's terrible and a disgusting abuse of power. Censorship like this is wrong. As so many other people have said, it goes against the value of free speech which the United States were founded on, as well as just basic human rights.
I honestly hope this doesn't come to pass. I haven't heard much IRL about it, but have had my panic and then calmed down some — the internet, predictably, is panicking like hell, and if any of this is solidly true? then with good reason.
But honestly, the government half the time can't get their sh*t together to make far longer-discussed laws than this get through, so by that logic, I cross my fingers and pray some, yeah? Yeah.
